Rocky Balboa, a small-time boxer, gets a supremely rare chance to fight heavy-weight champion Apollo Creed in a bout in which he strives to go the distance for his self-respect.

Sylvester Stallone
I think the movie “Rocky” starting Sylvester Stallone is a great motivational film that I highly recommend. Even though Rocky loses the fight against Apollo Creed, he celebrates with his wife Adrian because he went the distance. The whole movie is inspirational because people doubted him throughout the entire movie and they said he was going to lose and that he shouldn’t be in the ring with a great boxer like Creed. Rocky takes the criticism as motivation and starts training harder and harder every day with the help of his trainer and long time friend Mickey. Even though Micky and Rocky had differences they still managed to overcome it and work together to be successful.
The training scenes were my favorite part about the movie, no matter what challenges he had to deal with he kept going and got stronger and faster.
Apollo Creed was an interesting character to me. I couldn’t really get a feel for him, he was excited to fight Rocky because he thought it’d be an easy win, but when he noticed Rocky was getting more and more prepared for the fight and people started liking him, Creed starting getting upset by it. Overall I think Creed was a great character but at times his ego got the best of him.
When it was time to fight I was anxious for it, mostly because I didn’t know who was gonna win, I didn’t know if it was going to be a cliche type movie where the underdog wins. They went back and forth throughout the whole fight, Creed had the upper hand through most of the fight. Mickey wanted to stop the fight because Rocky’s eye was starting to swell up and close. Rocky said if they stop the fight he’ll kill them and to cut open his eye.
Creed wins by decision and tells Rocky he doesn’t want a rematch, Rocky is filled with emotion because he went the distance with a great fighter in Creed. I really enjoyed this movie and highly recommend it.
